In British Columbia, resigning can sometimes affect a person's eligibility for employment insurance benefits. Here are some considerations for your friend:
- Employment Insurance (EI): Resigning could impact her ability to claim EI, as voluntary resignation may disqualify her.
- Legal Implications: If there are potential criminal charges, resigning might not prevent further action.
- Severance Pay: Resigning may forfeit any severance pay she might be entitled to if terminated.
